Insieme are delighted to continue as Chamber Opera Ensemble in Residence at Lauderdale House this year. New for 2022, they are presenting a series of Free Thursday Lunchtime Concerts in Lauderdale house’s beautiful Long Gallery overlooking Waterlow Park.
Curated by Insieme members, these will explore repertoire for smaller combinations of voice and instruments in a relaxed, 40-minute concert.
The monumentally exciting Nigel Price Organ Trio is coming to liven up Lauderdale House with their fresh and eclectic sound with the help of saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos.
Nominated for the 2021 Parliamentary Jazz Award for ‘Best ensemble’ (they won in 2010) and winners of the 2016 British Jazz Award for ‘Best Small Group’, the band will be playing selections from their vast back catalogue as well as from the recently released and critically acclaimed ‘Wes Re-Imagined’ (2021 Ubuntu), an album that celebrates the compositions of jazz guitar icon Wes Montgomery, but reworked into new, exciting and unexpected feels. They will be joined by the jazz saxophone virtuoso Vasilis Xenopoulos.
Expect a night of exciting interplay, outrageous solos and a few laughs too!

Still Waters was born out a long association and friendship going back 40 years between Henry Lowther and Britain’s premiere bassist Dave Green – the band is now one of the most accomplished and creative bands in the country.
Although a classic quintet of two front line and rhythm, Still Waters plays radical and original music, ranging from gentle, quietly pastoral and melodic music, reflecting the band’s name, through to dynamic, free improvisation. The main thing to say about it is that it is indeed a band – not just a collection of individual musicians; in other words the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. The level of creativity, adventure and interplay on gigs never ceases to astonish audiences; no two gigs are ever the same.
Featuring Henry Lowther (trumpet), Dave Green (bass), Paul Clarvis (drums) and Pete Hurt (saxophone), Still Waters is truly an unmissable experience.
“Lowther and Hurt’s compositions are subtly effective and the players took them as inspiration for some small miracles” A review by Jon Turney for the Bristol Jazz Log.

What are little girls made of?
They are made of the forest floor, the blood of the moon cycle, the fluttering of wings and the turning of keys. They are made of sweat, howling notes and desire. They are made of night scented stock – heady and sweet, the lily and the rose, the knife and the rope.
They are made of all the tales our Mothers told us.
And all the ones they didn’t dare.
Using circus as a physical vocabulary, the award-winning Proteus will translate the fever dream style of Angela Carter’s macabre fairy tales to the stage. The Bloody Chamber is a heady, erotic, and surprisingly funny re-phrasing of some of the most famous folk and fairy tales in Western culture.
At a moment when women and men across the country confront the double standards of safety, sex, and the fears of what goes bump in the night, Carter’s incendiary caustic take on fairy stories as cautionary tales could not be a more formidable challenge to the status quo.

Four different bodies collide. A show about how things need to fall apart before they can fall into place.
Their lives are different, but one thing unites them: there’re frustrated with their bodies changing, ageing, breaking, no longer obeying. They climb, hang, balance, slide, collapse, hold and hug. They examine marks life has left on their bodies. Film and audio fragments mirror these marks in the wounds inflicted on our planet. These characters are fighting the grind of what’s expected. And you might feel inspired to do the same.
Delicate is BSL interpreted, audio described and captioned. Delicate is presented by Extraordinary Bodies and co-produced with Figurteatret i Nordland and Theatre Royal Plymouth.
